MONDAY 30 NOVEMBER CHARTERS TOWERS
It was a hot and humid day.
After breakfast, John worked on printing “our” Xmas cards – on paper, rather than card.
I drove to the centre of town and collected our mail from the Post Office. The PO building is one of the grand old ones, opening in 1893, with a tall clock tower that is quite a landmark, although it was added to the original building in 1898.
The ornate Post Office building, dating from the 1890’s. Note the unusual metal “lacework” on the near building.
I also bought a few groceries.
There were two big packs of mail, a parcel that contained the KKND computer game that John ordered to send to K for his Xmas present, and a letter from my brother.
Back at the van, I sorted the mail. It has been a while. Apart from my brother’s letter there was a nice haul of personal mail for me – one from each of P and K, and three from former work colleagues. But there were also bills – for water and shire rates, subscription renewal for the 4WD radio network, LandRover Assist premium for Truck. The Telstra bill is still too high! I wrote cheques as required and got them ready for mailing.
After all that work, I had a swim and relaxed in the cool inside the van for the rest of the day.
Tea was sausages and salad.
After tea, J phoned R for a chat.
